There's a horn-throwing Rob Halford action figure on the market and only 164 shopping days until Christmas

2025 has been a bumper year for new toys, with huge anticipation building ahead of the release of the Spider-Man Venom Versus Liquid Shifter action figure, the BLDR Squishmallows building kit and Scentco's Fart Monster whoopee cushion.

All of these market-busters, however, fade into insignificance when positioned next to the most exciting release of the year: McFarlane Toys' official Rob Halford action figure.

The Judas Priest mainman has been immortalised in "incredibly detailed" six-inch plastic and can be manipulated into "12 points of articulation for posing and play," which, we're delighted to report, allows the Metal God to lift his arm above his head and throw the horns.

Limited to just 4300 pieces worldwide, Halford arrives in window box packaging alongside a microphone and base, ensuring that owners will enjoy limitless hours of playtime entertainment.

This news will come as no surprise to keen Halford watchers, who will already know that this isn't the first Rob Halford action figure to hit the market. Back in 2020, toy company ReAction released a Halford figurine to celebrate Judas Priest's 50th anniversary, although, to be fair, it was only three and three-quarters inches tall, so the MacFarlane piece feels like an upgrade. And if there's any more space on the shelf, a Rob Halford Funko Pop figure was unveiled in 2022.

These are halcyon days indeed for the toy-collecting Metal Maniac.

The new action figure is available to pre-order now.
